Infantry only game
« on: June 19, 2011, 03:24:27 PM »
Could it be possible to have a mode in which only infantry can be recruited, because I really like watching gunfights betweens infantry squads only to have it ruined by an armoured car or tanks come in and blow all my men away. Sometimes its just more fun with only infantry fighting.

I could see the PE having a massive advantage in this game mode all they would need is the HQ and a jaeger - command building (i think thats it) and the luftwaffe doctrine  :o

For 1 thing, they would have no starting unit, so they would have to build a unit in order to start capping. Plus their capping rate would be super-slow, so they would essentially lose right at the beginning. Not to mention that some doctrines would become useless, as you alluded to. It's just a really bad idea to disallow vehicles.

Quiet intersting idea but it would require some changes of some factions to keep it balanced. I mean the panzer elites strenght are there special developed vehicles/tanks for example Panzer IV Infantry support tank or the marder III. The Panzer IV is focused on killing infantry but really only infantry light vehicles also but not much :P. Same for the marder III it has a pure AT role and can do nothing against infantry even flamethrower can destroy a marder .

That's a fair point, PE would lose out hugely. But what if I just didn't play as PE and chose Wehrmacht instead. So then the matchings would be a combination of British, American and Soviet against Wehrmacht?

That really doesn't matter; Any mode shouldn't leave any particular faction at a disadvantage.

Infantry only mode would be a sniper fest.

The game isn't balanced for this but there's nothing stopping you playing with someone else who agrees to do infantry only.
